View Full Version : 15th April 2007 Rideout from Boxhill - 8AM
It has been decided to have a rideout on 15th April based on the route shown on post #123 on this thread.
Here is the plan:
Boxhill: meet 8am, leave 8:30am
The Chalet (http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.php?p=1150662#post1150662)(cafe) for breakfast: arrive 9am, leave 10am (those who can't make Boxhill for 8am can meet us here)
Fuel stop at Buck Barn Crossroads (shell garage I think)
Loo stop at Tesco in Pulborough (forgot to put this on the map, sorry)
Bury Hill stop for loo/drink/look at bikes: arrive 11:30am, leave 12
Midhurst stop for leg stretch
Newlands corner stop for food/drink/loo/look at bikes: 1:15pm
The end (or head to Boxhill for more bike ogling)
These times aren't exact, just based on our test of the route today.
Er... doesn't bother me either way - but who decided on the date? that seemed to be the only issue on that other thread.

Don't take it personally Sarah, I'm not trying to avoid you and promise if I'm physically able, I'll make a rideout (well after an OP or two and a bit of physio).
But not this one, sorry.
Cheers Mark.

Mark, that is a poor excuse for not making a GM rideout!! ;)
i should most likely, definitely be there the 15th is best for me

Well it seemed no one could decide on a date, so someone chose and that was it otherwise we could of been going round in circles.
As in war there are always casualties and in rideouts there are always non-attendees. Theres gonna be loads of rideouts I hope this year so if you have an idea or suggesstion put it up and pick a date, some people wont be able to make it and some will.

Yep, an early date was chosen so we could fit more rideouts in. People would be able to attend at least one I hope, and there's a greater chance of nice weather on at least one rideout if we have loads.
Looking at the other thread, the date was getting pushed further back, it'll be Winter by the time everyone agreed.

8.30 in the A M you say? I'll just come straight from the club then...
I've made a note of this and look forward to attending with Bluesteel. Now, what to wear?....
8.30 is too early for me, so, count me out.
Early start is good for me - what time you expecting to finish up 2ish?? or quite late??

something fabulous ;)
i have no choice really, only got one set of leathers. thinking about getting a new visor though. torn between this (http://www.racevisors.co.uk/images/colours/261_lg.jpg)and this (http://www.racevisors.co.uk/images/colours/266_lg.jpg)
Sam and I are definitely going to try and make this one....
of course, usual caveats of weather and memory :P
Sarah, be careful if you get an iridium visor. The finish rubs off very fast indeed. Anyway, black is the new black isn't it :D

Go for a black visor. Cool and understated, be like and look like The Stig off Top Gear :cool:
Remember to carry a clear one with you though :plod:

I've got a super snazzy Caberg helmet. It has a second, dark visor built-in which is operated by a lever behind the left hand side visor rotation point. I can go from being a normal, well adjusted rider, to being the coolest thing on two wheels at the flick of a switch.
It's also matt black (like the bike's frame and my jacket) and has super snazzy matt silver decal inserts. It's also called a V-2. Now beat that for authenticity.

My summer leather jacket matches the bike (same colour as yours) and the jacket was bought way before I even considered the SV!
Does that count??

Me gots that one too although with grey graphics. The problem I find is that the dark inner visor is not nearly dark enough when it is sunny. I really want a full dark visor but can't find anywhere that sells them despite the fact that the Caberg V-2 has a super snazzy (good word that) quick release system for the main visor. Might HAVE to go buy a nice Arai!:p

I know what you mean though but the new one's are ace, much better than the Roof one I had which fell to peices after about 3 months.

Why you all worried about black visors:confused:
Goverment and plod have finally decided that they are not illegal in sunny conditions, so no need to worry
There was an article in the MCN this week, along with bikers being able to use bus lanes !! Woo Woo :smt101

P.s. Arai rules btw !!!!! Best helmet by far IMO:-dd

Roof were French though so it figures.
Yer different helmets apply to different people, i'm a shark fan, the rsr2 is pretty good imo, looks good, works!, thick visor about 3mm or more, light and fits me.
I thought the 15th was actually going to be the best date for me, but I've been reminded I can't.
And Sarah, if you come up with the route, you're more than entitled to set the date. Can't wait to catch up another time. :D
